He’s back: A male black bear captured on Cape Cod this month, where it was tranquilized and moved to central Massachusetts, showed up again on Tuesday just 6 miles from downtown Boston.

State officials said they had captured the bear in a tree in the Chestnut Hill area of Brookline, just west of Boston, and confirmed it was the same bear that roamed the cape for about two weeks before being captured and relocated on June 12.

The bear was identified by a tag placed in its ear. It had probably traveled about 100?m iles.
